This is a business here in Bangkok that we have for women in extreme poverty. Their are two goals of this ministry: to physically help these women financially so that they may support their families and to spiritually feed them in actions, words, and through a weekly Bible Study; thus sharing who the ONE true God is. There are six women currently employed. Praise the Lord one of the women "Wii" has become a Christian. One is also inquiring more about God today...we are praying that she will accept Christ personally someday very soon.
However, we have ran into a problem...we need more avenues to sell these purses and other miscellaneous items that they are making. There is concern that we might not be able to keep all six of these women employed if we do not have places to ship the items to. Check and see if you would like one or give them as presents throughout the year. Also, maybe you know of a store, a church, a christian bookstore, etc. that may be interested in attaining a selection of these bags...Will you do these wonderful women a favor and pray about the LORD providing more avenues to sell these Thai items?
Please note that the purses have different handles, the choice of button/zipper closures, and open/zippered pockets on the insides! The pictures shown are the type of items that Napada Handicrafts sell. Please Note that these purses come in many different colors and designs.
Hi Krystle! Hope things are well with you.
ReplyDeleteAwesome opportunity that you posted - have you checked out Etsy.com before? It seems like a good venue for the bags that these women are making. Lots of folks sell their artistic creations on Etsy.com, so it might be worth looking into. And if these ladies can create an Etsy site for themselves, then grab their Etsy link, post it on Facebook - and ask friends if they'd be willing to share the link with their friends.
Oh Wonderful Idea! I have never heard of that but, I will see if there is anyway we can sell their bags that way!
